Governor's House (New Haven Gas and Light Company)

North of Chapel street and the only building fronting East Street is the Governor's House for the New Haven Gas and Light Company. The one-storey brick house, built in in 1905, was once part of a larger complex of buildings and structures when the New Haven Gas and Light Company expanded from its original St. John Street Site in the early 20th century. Now, it is the sole structure remaining on the site positioned west of the NY, New Haven, and Hartford Railroad and only one of four remaining buildings on the greater site west of the Mill River.

The governor's house, built in in 1905, exists unused today.
